Roof Systems
Membrane, metal, coating, foam, asphalt, and recover assemblies reviewed against Ohio weather, roof access, and building operations.

SBS modified bitumen stays pliable in the cold, which matters through a Dayton winter; its rubberized plies give a redundant, traffic-tolerant low-slope membrane.
Fluid-applied acrylic and silicone systems renew a sound Dayton membrane and seal weathered seams; silicone in particular holds up where Ohio rain leaves standing water.
A fleece-backed TPO bonds tough and resists punctures from hail and foot traffic, a sensible upgrade for Dayton roofs that take a beating from spring storms.
Sprayed foam adds insulation and re-slopes ponding in a single seamless pass, a practical recover for irregular Dayton roofs once the substrate tests dry.
APP modified bitumen is torch-applied for a tough, heat-welded surface, a durable choice for Dayton roofs with heavy traffic or demanding flashing details.
KEE-based single-ply keeps PVC's weldability while resisting plasticizer loss, so it ages well on Dayton roofs exposed to grease, chemicals, and full Ohio sun.
Metal roofs span standing-seam and exposed-fastener R-panel; both shed Ohio snow well, but each handles thermal movement differently, which we detail for Dayton slopes.
Sixty-mil TPO is the reflective baseline for flat Dayton roofs, welding into watertight seams and cutting summer heat gain on offices and light-traffic buildings.
Eighty-mil TPO adds puncture resistance and reserve membrane for Dayton roofs that see hail, equipment, or steady foot traffic, extending service life over thinner grades.
Hot-air-welded PVC forms monolithic seams that resist ponding and grease, making it a strong fit for Dayton kitchens and dead-flat roofs prone to standing water.
Layered felts and asphalt make BUR a heavy, redundant system still found on older Dayton buildings; we judge its remaining life by flashing, blisters, and ballast cover.
EPDM rubber stays flexible through Dayton's deep-winter cold; black absorbs warmth to shed snow while white reflects summer heat, and we match the color to the building's load.
